Travel Must Haves in Novaliches

-

Planning to take a long break in Quezon City and don’t know what to pack? Check out these tips and lists of travel must-haves to those having their vacation rentals or furnished apartments long term rentals. This guide will help you on what to pack for every season you plan to have your vacation rentals in the Philippines.

Travel Light

        Make sure to pack light to avoid extra expense on additional baggage fees in the airport. Quezon City has a lot of malls selling cheap but fashionable clothes and stores that carry all your basic needs from toiletries, food to medicines in case of emergency.

Bring and Exchange Money

Since there are a lot of self catering apartments in Quezon City, it would be easy to find money changer businesses as long as you have US dollars. Make sure to bring enough money whether cash or credit as there are malls everywhere in Quezon City to buy your needs.
Pack According to Season

It’s equally important to look at the month at which you are planning to travel to the Philippines especially to those who have furnished housing one month long. Though the Philippines is a tropical country and has two seasons only, the month at which your holiday rentals fall is important in deciding what to bring.

December to February

The Christmas season leading to the start of the year is the coldest season in the Philippines. Though there’s no winter and snow in the Philippines, the weather can get pretty cold during this season so make sure to bring jackets, closed shoes and thick socks. Scarves are also a good alternative to jackets if you like to have variety of looks.

March to May

Summer falls under these months and the heat is intense during this time of the year. Make sure to bring sun block and wear them all the time when going around. You may also buy good sun block products in malls. An umbrella can also be helpful in keeping yourself from getting sunburned. Bring casual clothes like tank tops, shirts and shorts.

June to August

The rainy season in the Philippines is no ordinary as sometimes there are instances of flooding. Bring  rain boots, rain coat and a good umbrella that can survive strong winds.

September

This month can still be a bit rainy so bringing flip flops and a good jacket all the time outside is important in case rain starts falling at random times in the day.

October

Nearing Christmas, a lot of shopping and sale has started during this month. Make sure to bring a good sturdy bag with you for all your shopping needs. You will go through a lot of walking so make sure you have comfortable shoes like rubber shoes.

November and December

A month away from Christmas, the weather will be pretty cold already with less rain. Given the festivities of Christmas you might want to bring semi-formal and formal clothes.

Hair Styles in the Philippines

-
by: JC Bulan In the Philippines, when it rains, it really pours.  Now if you want to keep on looking great with your hair firmly in tact then take note of the following tips. Filipinas like their hair to be classy but not too flashy.  An excellent style for the long-haired gals is the Gibson tuck.  You’ll need a hair tie and pins for this one.  Put your hair up in a ponytail.  Just above the hair tie, part your hair into roughly two equal parts using your finger.  Next, twist your ponytail and insert it into the gap and tuck it inside along with the hair tie.  Wrap your hair up tight and secure the top of the tuck with hair pins.  You might also want to use a hairspray for the finishing touches.  Also it would look more elegant by pulling a few strands of hair for each side of your face. You can do a lot with braids.  One simple style is the high braided bun.  You can create this by first tying your hair in a high pony tail, then section it into three parts.  Get the leftmost part and

All Saints and All Souls Day Coming Up in Novaliches, Quezon City

Image
by Charles Bolanos All Saints and All Souls Day is a special day in the Philippines. This is the day when we remember the Saints and our beloved departed relatives and friends. Officially we do not have classes on 1 November and 2 November because that is when we are busiest. The government of the  past years typically cancels work on the 30th of October till 3 November. The reason for this is because of the people going to their respective provinces or homes where we gather and celebrate as early as 31st of October. Some even went to a point of sleeping overnight from 31st of October till 2 November. 1 November is actually a feast day as we commemorate those who have lived saintly lives. 2 November is not, but we offer Holy Masses till 30th of November for the souls of our departed relatives and friends. We believe that we gain Plenary Indulgences for them so they have a short stay in Purgatory, since we know that not all of our friends and relatives are saints...Oth
